I will rename db_page to page to avoid confusion in v5.

Do you mean I should pass the refcount_t from user space to kernel and
here use the user space refcount_t?

If it is, I think this revision is more or less unnecessary.
As kernel refcount_t will be changed only when mapping, it is more
reasonable to update this value by kernel.
